Toronto FC vs. New York Red Bulls: 3 takeaways
A failure to match New York's energy was just one reason why TFC had to settle for a draw in Saturday's home opener at BMO Field.
Michael Bradley returned to BMO Field on Saturday for the first time since his retirement at the end of the 2023 season and was properly feted by Toronto FC and the fans prior to kickoff.
But that hardly contented "the General," whose New York Reds Bulls spoiled the party surrounding TFC's 20th home opener by scoring with the very last kick of the game to earn a 1-1 draw before an announced crowd of 18,767.
"It was special. Weird, weird feeling, being back in the stadium ... It felt strange to be back. Always good to see a lot of a lot of familiar faces, and obviously the stadium is looking a little bit different at the moment, but this will always be a place that is special," Bradley said after the game.
Here are my three major takeaways from Saturday's match.
